the line of elros ☼ house of andúnië ☼ headcanon disclaimer
Vóromir was the thirteenth Lord of Andúnië, named for his ancestor Boromir of Ladros, and was the first of his line forced to take an Adûnaic name, Abrazimir, or else be expelled from the Council of the Scepter. He ruled Andúnië in the time of Ar-Adûnakhôr, and as there was little he could do to sway the king from his wicked ways, Vóromir instead worked quietly to make his city a safe haven for the Faithful. Vóromir was young when Adûnakhôr’s father seized the throne through violence and framed his brother Gimilzagar for his crimes, and was deeply impacted by these horrific events. Thus he was sympathetic to Gimilzagar’s widow and daughter, Nilûphêr and Arphazêl, even when others among the Faithful distrusted them, and allowed them to take refuge in Andúnië. In time, Vóromir grew to love Arphazêl, and gave her the Quenya name Aranel. They were wed, and tried to raise their children in peace and happiness, shielding them from the darkness of the world as long as they could. Thus their eldest son, Aulendur, had the leisure to become a smith despite being his father’s heir. When Aulendur inherited, he continued his father’s policy of subtle resistance against the King’s Men rather than confronting them in the Council of the Scepter. He accepted his Adûnaic name Tamrubên, appearing as nonthreatening as possible to Ar-Zimrathôn and his supporters. His wife was Istimiel Sapthaphêl, a scholar, and together they had two children, Lindórië and Eärendur.
